Lech Walesa To Stump For Republican In Illinois

“Pollack's for Change”

Lech Walesa, famous as the leader of the Polish Solidarity Movement and later president of that country, will be in Illinois campaigning for Adam Andrzejewski, one of five Republicans vying for the governorship.

The former Polish president will be the keynote speaker Friday at a Chicago luncheon fundraiser for Adam Andrzejewski, one of five Republican candidates for governor in Illinois.

“I applaud Mr. Andrzejewski’s commendable effort to bring real reform to politics,” Walesa wrote in a letter endorsing the 40-year-old businessman. “His insistence on transparency in public life are badly needed not only in the great state of Illinois, but in any democracy.”

Walesa is going into a Democratic stronghold to stump for a Republican.  I’m interested to see if he has better luck on behalf of his candidate than the President did for Coakley in Massachusetts.
